Spray Painting with Stencils

The class
encouraged us to experiment with acrylic and enamel spray paints using
stencils.

She no longer offers the course but it
was a TON of fun.

I would be remiss if I did not mention that although this
class is not available,

Mary Ann still offers some other pretty awesome and
super fun online classes.

I love the
instant gratification of spray painting AND the results are much more unusual than pouncing paint
or even using spray inks (most of which are water soluble and will move and
blend with other wet media).

I like to alter old, outdated scrapbook paper rather than throwing it away.

Spray painting is a great way to add
zing to worn out, sad paper.

Work in a well
ventilated are and protect your work surface with newspapers.

Wearing gloves is a good idea, too.

I recommend that you read the safety and
cautionary information supplied with your spray paint.

Once you have your work area set up and
your supplies at hand, it is SUPER EASY and fun.

Afterwards, I use rubbing alcohol to clean the paint off my stencils,and it works wonderfully!

You create wonderful artwork, Elise! May I have your permission to use one of these photos in my blog? I especially like the repeat pattern created with Silhouette of a Wildflower Bouquet! I'm always thrilled when one of my stencils gets used in a creative way that never once occurred to me! Doing a happy dance ...
